The weather is changing, days are getting shorter, but there
is still plenty of activity to be had here on campus.
A few upcoming events:
Saturday, October 18: UCC’s annual Harvest Celebration. Wear
your costume, bring your kids, and get ready for some family fun! There will be
trick-or-treating and other fun games available 11am – 2pm
There will be a job fair in the student center on October 22nd
from 11am – 2pm. Local employers will be on hand to answer questions and, just
maybe, accept resumes.
Also, the office of Student Life has sent the following
statement, which is so important that I will repost it here in its entirety:
“Got Respect? Have
you ever felt disrespected or marginalized because of who you are? Or have you found others treat you in special
ways because of your individual status?
We want to hear your story.
Participated in one of eight focus groups being held this term to aid in
a research project about respect and inclusion at Umpqua Community
College. The focus groups are: Age, Ability,
Ethnicity, Women’s Voices, Poverty, Race, Religion and Sexual Orientation. If you are interested in participating or
would like more information, please send an email to got-respect@umpqua.edu”
Finally, a representative from Portland State University
will be on hand Wednesday, October 15th from 11 – 1 in the
cafeteria. They will be answering questions regarding degree programs, transferring,
and other important topics.
Keep up the wonderful work!

All of this is good to know. I am excited for the harvest festival, although I am not sure I will be able to make it this year. Either way, it sounds like it is going to be a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteAny idea who's going to be there at the job fair?
ReplyDeleteThe harvest festival sounds like fun!
ReplyDeletemy favorite part about job fairs is you get free pens
ReplyDeleteGood dates to keep in mind.
ReplyDeleteASUCC would love for you to be involved! They are running the "Got Respect" campaign as well as many other projects. Student voices are what make their visions a reality. Talk to one of the members or even come to me if you are interested in what they are doing.
Good to know about the dates!
ReplyDeleteExcited to see the go respect campaign as well!
There are many changes on campus this year, and it's great to see the ASUCC working to bring the community within the college together.
ReplyDeleteI am glad to hear about these events and that it is this time of year again.
ReplyDeleteThanks for updating us about times and places!

ReplyDeleteThe job fair was very lively, it was nice to see people asking questions and getting informed. I hope everybody was able to take advantage of the opportunities that UCC provides us. Enjoy the end of the week!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info
ReplyDeleteWhen's the next blog post?
ReplyDeleteI'll check in...
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for tomorrow and go to one of the GOT Respect? thingiys I think it will not only be helpful for other student who do feel that they have a voice or one that carries weight but also help promote awareness of these hot-button issues.
